Sidharth: Good Morning Mrs. Mathur

Shehnaaz: Good Morning Mr. Mathur

Sidharth: When are we leaving?

Shehnaaz: (smiled) In the afternoon. You seem to be excited. I hope you aren't wishing to get rid of me and silently praying that I don't return home.

Sidharth: Shut the hell up. I want to spend my whole life with you. I want to tell my great grand children the story of how you tricked me into getting married to you and how strange our marriage was.

Shehnaaz: Oohhh.. I can imagine an old man with all grey hair and grey beard and no teeth in the mouth, sitting on the armchair, rocking to and fro, with little kids sitting around him, and him telling the story. (She hides her lips by curling inside her mouth and speak in a heavy and shakey voice) Do you knoooow... Aahoo.. Aahoo (Coughs) yourrrr greeeaatt grraandmotheerr chhheaatteed meeee.. Aahoo Aahoo (coughs)..

He laughs as he hits her on the back of her head and pulls her into hug. His heart was pounding because he was scared for her life yet he was putting up a fight against his own fears. He prayed continuously for her mission to be successful.

Sidharth: I love you Shehnaaz..

She knew his fears, she was brave but his fear was making her knees shake. She wanted to live with him and really wanted their dreams to come true. She had seen how her parent's were murdered brutally in this fight and no matter how much strong she was, she knew how risky it was.

Sidharth: By the way, I forgot to ask, where are we going?

Shehnaaz put a finger on his mouth and whispered in his ears.

Shehnaaz: Though we are in our room, this isn't place to discuss. You will come to know. We just need a plan to escape from here cause your father won't allow us to go out together.

Sidharth: Huh?? Okay..

Shehnaaz: Babuji, I plan to meet my friend Janvi and go shopping with her today. It's been a long time. Post that I will work overnight on accounts at her house itself. So I won't return soon today.

Akhilesh was delighted since she was keeping herself busy and away from Sidharth. He nods. Shehnaaz leaves. In half an hour, Sidharth gets ready and goes to Reema.

Sidharth: Amma, I feel so frustrated. Since the time we've moved here, Shehnaaz has kept herself busy with party work. Today also she went to her friend's house. I am bored at home.

Akhilesh overheard this.

Reema: If she can't spend time with you then you go with her, help her in her work, that's how it works. You won't get time, you just have to manage to make time for it. You got married recently, and so soon you got frustrated? You still have to spend your whole life with her.

Akhilesh: Reema, keep quiet! They are still young, if they work now to achieve their dreams, they will be more successful in life. Love doesn't fill your stomach, for that you have to earn. She is doing her work. Sidharth no need to disturb her.

Go and spend time with your friends, you can party, gym, play sports, to do away with your boredom. You don't have to be holding her purse and roaming behind your wife everytime. If she loves you then she will manage to take time. Be a man and don't waste your time in romance and all this bullshit.

Sidharth: Hmm.. That's what I am doing Babuji. Do hell with her! I am going to club and play cricket with my friends and will stay overnight at my friend's house.

Oh God! Shehnaaz was so true. I missed to notice that my own father, wants to keep me away from my wife. He doesn't even value my marriage, my emotions and feelings. So much blinded behind power and money.
